Feast of the Sacred Heart in the Domestic Church

My husband and I have been reading a very helpful book on Catholic parenting that promotes experience as the best way to educate children from birth to age 6 (it's an older edition of this book), and the first experience they know is love. How important it is then to mark this day commemorating God's great love!

If you already have an image of the Sacred Heart enthroned in your home, today is an ideal day to renew your family's consecration. This day should be a time for family prayer and Mass attendance, if possible. Consider having a simple celebration for family and friends (I'll be making heart cookies and some iced red tea).

Write the Church Ladies

"Necessary emphasis should be placed on the 'genius of women,' not only by considering great and famous women of the past or present, but also those ordinary women who reveal the gift of their womanhood by placing themselves at the service of others in their everyday lives. For in giving themselves to others each day women fulfill their deepest vocation." --LETTER OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO WOMEN, 29 June 1995
